Track
01 : After KISS
"Animalize" tour in 1985 Eric Carr started
branching out into different projects, like looking for other
bands to manage and produce. "New York" was one of the
bands he had any involvement with. "New York",
featuring 'J' (vocals) Johny 'G' Lover (guitars), Freddie Foster
(bass) and Rikk Hanz (drums), released one independent EP
"Carry The Torch" in 1985. After setting the band up
in a friends studio in upstate New York (for a quick
pre-production), Eric Carr went up there for a day and a half to
give the band some advice. At the same time he wrote a song
together with the band called "Electric Thunder". |

Eric Carr - Crazy Nights demo
Track
01 : Demoed, but not fully
recorded, for the "Crazy Nights" album.
As the primary writer of the song, Eric Carr had taken it to
Gene Simmons and Adam Mitchell for polishing.
In 2011 the demo of this song finally ended up on "ERIC
CARR - Unfinished Business".
Track 02 : Eric Carr would demo the song playing all of the
instruments himself.
The 2011 release "ERIC
CARR - Unfinished Business" features the complete demo taken
from the original cassette tape, featuring Mitch Weismann (Kiss
co-writer, Beatlemania) on lead vocals. Mitch jokes about how he
and Eric were at Gene Simmons house "just fooling around." Mitch
wanted to try something different, so he sat inside a closet
with his microphone and belted out this easy flowing song. In
the meantime, Eric Carr programmed the drum machine, played some
guitars, and added some background vocals.
